The five Saronic Gulf islands are the closest of all to
Athens, and Salamis is virtually a suburb of the capital.
Aegina, Hydra, Spetses and Poros are all surprisingly varied
in architecture and terrain, but they all receive an inordinate
number of tourists and are expensive. Hydra, once the rendezvous
of artists, writers and beautiful people, is now overrun
with holiday-makers but manages to retain an air of superiority
and grandeur. Motor vehicles, including mopeds, are banned
from the island.
